Characteristics of the Jezebel Spirit!

Characteristics of the Jezebel Spirit: 1. It is a satanic evil spirit. 2. The root of this spirit most often lies from hurt and pain bottled up within the carrier from childhood or unforgiveness from many hurts, pains, disappoints, abuse, etc. throughout the individuals life that has not been properly dealt with.

Imagine what a gift it would be if we could actually go back in time and give ourselves advice…Hmm… Of course we cannot, but I think this is a great question for us to ponder. Although, I think many of us would agree that we learned more from the mistakes we made, but wouldn’t it be nice to not have to learn the “hard way” in some situations? Have fun with the question this week. Answer: My advice to myself would be "Don't be in such a hurry to grow up, take it one day at a time and enjoy the journey."
